TILT – WHY IT HAPPENED – HOW TO AVOID

THINGS ARE NOT GOING YOU WAY

Sitting long time around the tabel(s) without any possibility to play – wrong ''good hands'' at wrong time.
Example - You will get AJ, suited connectors etc in early position and forced to fold

Loosing at the start  for couple (or even more) made hands to ''river rats''
Example – You have already straight, flush or trips and and opponent will hit higher one at the river

After couple losses You will afraid play ''right hand'' in right position
Example – having KQ suited in early position, K10 in middle position, 87 at CO, SB, BB etc

AVOID – REMEMBER – Everybody will get lucky sometimes – even You. IT was their time. We mostly remember times then somebody else did hit, not that much then we do

LOOSING PATIENT

Hand selection
You will start play ''if''s in hope it will be You time to get lucky (everybody else does why not me)
Example – middle or small suited connectors in early position etc

Willing to win You losses back
Checking often how much You lost or win already

Starting to cold call in early or middle position
You are easy target to squeezers – they will 3bet and You will be forced to fold

Betting out then table texture indicates already You are lost
Remind yourself reason why did You call or bet (draw, hoping for set etc). It did not happened – take deep breath and see what opponent will do or just fold and go on with next hand

Tired/ long session
Forcing yourself to play then You should not – better go read some articles or study game

AVOID – REMEMBER -Poker is game of the skills not luck. There is always coming up another hand after few seconds or You can start next session after little while (internet after all)

CALLING BIG BETS

Calling all ins is almost always bad thing to do
All in preflop is mostly ''lucky'' bet/call. Every two cards can win in this game.
All in without ''nuts'' at later streets is somehow ''lucky'' bet/call too mostly - everybody will get ''good made hands'' time after time - respect that

Big River bet – fighting with wrong enemies
Got to remember micro limit players are not usually betting out big without good reason Specially then passive player does or aggressive player does after calling or checkin earlier streets. Rule – then somebody will do something unusual be afraid

AVOID - REMEMBER - Small win is better then big loss. It will take long time around the tabel(s) to wait and win it back


BAD BLUFFS

Bluffing on somebody who's WTSD is over 30%
They will not fold whatever happens at the table

Bluffing in multiway pots 
Somebody will come along for sure, bigger opportunity somebody will hit something

Bluffing on half way 
You are showing weakness in wrong time and wrong place. Then started to bluff You got to go all the way and strongly or don't do it at all

AVOID - REMEMbER - Not so many players at micro levels will bluff or know how to play versus bluff then You might think. Leave it for ''better'' players

Money     + 3.30
Blinds      0.05

Did remind myself again - why I'm playing = to win money, not make records

Biggest leak on micro levels - players cant stop betting. Look up for players with CB 100, TB 100, WTSD very high (over 40).

If You wanna get action -show weakness  = be the ''dork'' who limps sometimes, gives up pots etc. AND, if You have really ''good hand''(made hand - not draw) stab strongly. Forget about all You know about good poker and aggressive play - everybody else will try that anyway - leave that for higher levels (maybe/hopefully). Play like You are working in manufacture - same routine all day long

Don't try anything fancy at  multiway pots (no bluffing etc)

                                                            3) Do not try learn aggression or other trix at this level - can't
                                                                learn anything in level then most players not aware of them
                                                            4) Forget ''red line'' and other stats

Hand review Results

Passive play - checking and calling down 3 streets too often. Needs improvement. Can do this only vs very aggressive players then I got maybe Top Pair or so

Calling preflop against passive players ( why not 3 bet ?) - can do like bluff catcher against very aggressive players only

Calling from CO - 3 bet or fold is better play. ( to many calls with connectors)

Betting to much from SB and BB - might be better call and give up on river then I don't have hand. To many 3 bets - wrong - playing from OOP later streets. Got to study Blind Defence

Mistakes with Double Barrel and Bluff - got to find right moment and right opponent, Right now way to much - learning curve :)

Calling to much on EP and MP - people do squeeze me to many times. Got to think about preflop starting range to go in play - might 3 bet more or just fold

Back to normal. Got to know then finish. Got to remember my goal WR 8 will be more then enough, Decided to move up level 3, I know it is against any published BM, but can't see reason to play 200 000 hands on Level 1 or 2. Play is boring and much Bingo Play (of course there is good players too but most of them just having fun - can;t blame them). Will play this month mostly Level 3 - if winning will go way down - will move back Level 2, but not before. Will try manage Level 3 :) Wish me luck :)
